After one awesome day of ponning ( or whatever correct word that i don't bother checking) work, I'm back to the office.
It's always boredom that makes people write. From my point of view, poets sitting at lakeside or mountain top and staring at one spot for more than 2 hours are just trying to reach that state of boredom so that they can write, just as how monks sit there all days doing nothing trying to reach Nirvana state.... ohm... 
I'm writing this post with two great assumptions. First one is that you have watched HIMYM, the coolest show on Earth, the one that I followed all the way back since 2008, when people were still thinking that it's lame. If you haven't watched then you can just close this tab now because the title of this post would make you think I'm a gay, which certainly would never happen in one zillion years. The second assumption is that you love it. If you don't then you can just fuck off.
So HIMYM fans, stumbling across the CBS blog, I just want to share a few thoughts about this cool concept introduced in season 4. Recap, what is Naked Man? The innovative seducing method created by the primitive cavemen, whom we have to give credit to as Barney stated that they were fearless men who dare to try, to do, to survive, to live among not only saber-tooth tigers and dangerously wooly mammoths, but also lady cavemen who were really, really hairy.

Step 1:
You and the woman you clubbed enjoy rotting deer carcass by torch light



 Step 2:
Your woman steps out to use the little girl's cave. You take off your loin cloth


 Step 3:
Delighted by your boldness and unharnessed masculinity, she would fall for you



This works.... 2 out of 3 times


2 out of 3 times. However, my point is not how fun this concept is but rather the what it means for me. It's about being "open" to everyone. Though you need not reach the extent of literally go naked but yes, wouldn't this be a much better place to live if everyone is nakedly open to each other? 2 out of 3, it is a 66.66% success chance and by probability it is an obviously better choice so why don't go for it? Why are we so scared of that one third chance of being rejected. Then I recall what happened in my life and how it would change if i were to apply Naked Man. Let's just assume that the 2/3 ratio is correct.
If I were to stand up in the middle of Chem lecture and shout out : this is bull shit, there is a one third chance that i get kicked out of school, laughed by friends for trying to act rebellious and two third chance of the school changing the teacher, my friends admiring me. Should I go for it?
If I were to tell this friend of mine that he is getting annoying and there is a 2/3 chance that he would shut up, 1/3 he gets more annoying, should i say it?
If I were to tell a girl that I want to hang out with her and there is only 33.33% that I am rejected, shouldn't I?
Even if the ratio was 2/3 I don't think I would dare to... or even when it goes down to 1/4, 1/5...
It's just that I'm scared of failing
Are you?
